Don’t be the guitar guy.

| July 30th, 2010

I’m talking about the guy who shows up at a party with his guitar and starts playing without being prompted, thinking that this will make him appear deep and talented and probably get him laid. He’s wrong. Everyone hates that guy and they all wish he’d just shut the hell up and go home because, seriously dude, are you completely oblivious to the fact that a bootleg of the new album by the Faint, which won’t be released for six months, is on the stereo, and also that the redhead you’ve been hitting on all night came with Frank, who makes way more money than you and is an accomplished marine biologist? … Anyway, the point is that you don’t need to be the most awesome thing in the room, and trying to be will generally result in the opposite reaction.

    What about being the Ukulele guy? Is that still cool?
